Chiropractic adjustment: What is it and what are its benefits?

A chiropractic adjustment is a completely noninvasive procedure during
which a chiropractor applies manipulation to several areas of the body
to facilitate pain relief and return the body to its optimal alignment.
Though areas such as the hips a shoulders may adjusted, the primary area
of interest in a chiropractic adjustment is the spine. There, the objective
of chiropractic adjustment is to reduce subluxation (improper positioning
of the vertebrae), with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing
nerve irritability, and improving overall functionality. Benefits of chiropractic
adjustment include:

Back and neck pain relief

Headache reduction

Bowel regularity

Improved mental clarity

Ear infection prevention

Reduced arthritis and joint pain

Effective scoliosis treatment

Asthmatic symptom relief

Blood pressure stabilization

Pregnancy pain mitigation

Improved organ function

Surgery prevention

Your adjustment: What to expect

During your chiropractic adjustment here at Effective Chiropractic, your
chiropractor will perform an examination of your back, neck, and other
target areas, testing for areas of discomfort or immobility. This is performed
via a process called “motion palpitation,” during which your
chiropractor feels in the vicinity of the tightness where the joints aren’t
moving. Once target areas are located, your chiropractor will then perform
adjustments by administering high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts in the
direction of restriction through the joint. The process is repeated along
the length of the spine and may be used to relieve tightness in the shoulders,
hips, and other joint locations, as well. In general, a chiropractic adjustment
here at Effective Chiropractic process usually is completed in less than
30 minutes. Other therapies to assist in the process could add more time.
Follow-up appointments may be scheduled, as necessary.
